Q:
When I go to my program list it takes up my whole screen. Is there a way to make them into a list or something?

A:
I didn't have this problem with Windows 98 and ME because they showed everything in a list, but with XP I found this pretty annoying. I wanted a list like in the last century—then I discovered this remedy.

1. Right-click the Start Button and choose "Properties".

2. Select the "Start Menu" tab then next to the "Start Menu" radio button click the "Customize" button.

3. Click the "Advanced" tab and scroll down to the box marked "Scroll Programs" and check it.

4. Hit OK then OK again.

Now when you go to "All Programs" you'll get a long list.

If you're like me and have a ton of programs, then you may want to organize programs into folders like "music", "games, etc. For more on how to do this, check out our website...
